List of Compostable Materials

Even though I have not started to set aside compostable materials yet, I want to get into the habit of recognizing what materials I typically throw away that can be added to the heap.

• Food scraps, peels, rotten fruit, fruit cores and leftovers
• Paper towels, tissues and untreated paper
• Cotton balls and swabs (Paper stems, not plastic.)
• Bunny waste (uses recycled paper litter)
• Dead plants
• Vacuum canister dust

I found a website with some unusual compostable materials below:

Some of these suggestions did not apply and some were kind of gross (fingernails etc).
